Weekend update

Just a quick update this weekend: I've mainly been working on the penis / futa option for Her that I tested out a while ago, as well as a few important bug fixes. There's not much new to see yet that wasn't in the test screenshot, but hopefully I'll have it done soon.

The recent changes broke some mods and dialogues, so I'm trying to fix things so that they work again without needing any updates. Sorry if you've already wasted time dealing with that. I haven't had a chance to comment there yet, but thanks for the forum posts on these bugs especially. Once that's all fixed, I'll go back to the modding files and bring them up to date with the latest release. I'll probably need to add a simplified way of modding the original Him first, as making a full body mod requires writing your own animation scripts, but in the future it should be possible to create any "Him" you want.

v1.18.1b

*edit* Quick dialogue fix.

This release is mainly bug fixes, hopefully catching most of the issues pointed out in last week's comments (thanks for all of the reports, they make tracking things down a lot easier), but I've also been working on a custom data system for advanced dialogue writers. I've just enabled it as a test in this release to get some feedback, but it should make creating more complicated scripts a lot easier.


I'll post a thread on the forums in a minute (and link here) to discuss more details about the new dialogue tools, but the basic features are:
 - Storing arbitrary variables and inserting them into lines.
 - Simple incrementing and decrementing of numbers.
 - Checks for lines so that they only play if the chosen variables are set to the correct value, or are ">5" etc.

*edit* Instructions and more details here

If that turns out to be a popular feature (especially if a lot of people like to use custom scripts), I can expand on it, but as it is it's already fairly flexible.

v1.18b

*edit* Fixed his left arm not appearing without switching bodies and not being HSL shifted.

Apparently Minus only accepts image files now, which is annoying because otherwise the interface seemed quite good. I've put the release on depositfiles for now, but once again suggestions for good sharing sites would be helpful. I'd like to try to find a solid one before resorting to hammering a generous person's bandwidth.

This release might still be a bit buggy, as I haven't spent a lot of time testing, but I think I've caught most of the worst graphical glitches and sorted out the data saving. I'll probably post a small release next weekend to fix any bugs though.

Main new features:
 - Female body model for the deepthroatee, with new body selection menu.
 - Tan lines layer for the deepthroater.
 - Left arm.
 - Magical ejaculating strapon.

The female body shape is a bit limited by the fact that her joints need to be mostly circular, but any comments now that you can see it in action are helpful.

Quick update

I was hoping to get a release out today with tan lines and the female body for him, but it's getting late for a weekend update and the game's still a bit too broken from all of the changes, so I thought I should post a quick update at least. I'll upload a new version as soon as I have those features stable though.

I spent most of the weekend finishing modular bodies for Him, which ended up being a pretty massive rewrite. I also:
 - Set up menu controls for his bodies, with a new section which swaps out for body specific options.
 - Outlined most of the new female body model properly, spent some time working on the shape and shading, and added pale, tan and dark skin options. (Thanks for the comments on this, they were really helpful.)

Weekend update

This weekend I've mainly been working on animation stuff:
 - Getting his left arm moving and trying to animate the hand and arm slightly between poses so that bukkake mode doesn't look like his wrist is broken.
 - Making his positioning more flexible in general so that things like high heels can be added for the female model.
 - Testing out ways to animate between positions, instead of the jumping that happens at the moment. (This is difficult mainly because the joints are all 2d, but I have some ideas.)

I also spent a little bit time working on the female model for him again, and added a strapon style penis with RGB controls. I'm still not really happy with the body, though I think I can improve it with some proper shading, but if anyone can point out specific proportion problems that would be really helpful.

I'm just going to work on finishing features off for next weekend, (mainly drawing the sketches properly, duplicating new elements for other skin shades, and fixing a bunch of bugs) so whatever I get done will be in the next release.

Weekend update

This weekend I mainly worked on fleshing out the tan lines test to add her face and neck, set up the menu controls, and add more detailed outlines. There's still some clipping around her hips, but I'm sure I'll figure something out.

I spent some more time trying to improve the futa model, but I'm not entirely happy with it yet, so for a change I (finally) sketched out his left arm. It doesn't do much at the moment, but hopefully it can be used to aim bukkake mode without much extra animation.

One side benefit of working on the tan lines is that I think I've found a solid workaround for the rendering bug which made black blocks appear on character thumbnails and screenshots. It probably didn't affect a lot of people, but it was an annoying waste of time whenever it showed up, and it means I can reuse stuff for the tan lines without breaking things.

I'm reading through the comments from last week, so I'll edit this post with any common replies soon.

*edit* Some comment replies after the fold. (As usual check this page for the more frequently requested features.)

Weekend update

I'm back! It's been a long time, but not looking at the game for a while was actually really helpful. I've been experimenting with a lot of stuff for possible new features, and this weekend I finally got started on futa models for Him and Her (they probably need different names now). Thanks for all the comments again, there wouldn't be much point in working on the game if people weren't interested.

One of the bigger jobs for getting different him models working is separating out the code so that different bodies can have their own animations, costume menus and actions without it being a huge mess. I got the actual body selection and animation pretty much done this weekend, so I've drawn a draft futa body to try it out. I'm also testing costume extensions for a penis on Her in this screenshot, and a tan lines layer:

Those are probably a few updates from being finished, but they work better than I expected. (Her face has a lot more elements to tan, so I haven't done it yet, but it should work the same way too.)

After these features are done, I've been thinking about how a combined hand job / bukkake mode could work. You would switch modes by holding her all the way to the left for a couple of seconds, then either with his left hand or hers (if her arms are free), you could stroke and aim with the mouse as usual. I'm not sure if those controls would be annoying or hard to find, but it would at least be better than the current "secret" option. As usual, any other ideas would be good to hear.

*edit* A couple of common questions:
 - Futa models will be optional of course, and off by default. (I know it's not to everyone's taste, but the changes will mean that other models for Him will be possible to add too, so suggestions for that would be good.)
 - Will definitely add a strapon option.
 - Yes to different tanline shapes too.
